Significance to the event: This picture is an important evidence from the past that shows that I was in the states on 2006 and shows that I went to school there.
Recount of the event: When my dad took this picture, I was in 3rd grade. This is a picture of me and my friend waiting for the school to open on the first day of school. It was my first day studying in America and I did not know how to speak English at all. I was very nervous and excited at the same time. Even though I could not speak English, I was able to hang out with other kids. It was possible because everyone was nice to me.

Picture 2: This is a picture of a quiz I took and got all of them correct.
Source type: Primary source
Significance to the event: This picture shows that I was doing pretty good in American school and I was adapting to the school pretty quickly.
Recount of the event: That was the first quiz I took in America and I was really proud of it. After this test, I thought of the tests I took in the korean schools. It had a lot of questions on it and it was very tough. Even if I get a 100 on the tests I take in Korea, I will forget everything by next week. However, tests in America actually helped me remember and I liked it. Thats when I thought that Korean schools are stupid and American schools are way better.
